All Thanks, And Glory To God

Good Morning!...On This, Another Thankful, Thursday!! Cultivating a thankful heart is the key to overcoming discouragement, grief, pain,...and even discontentment. If we develop the habit of counting our blessings then we, can learn to be content, and joyful,...even in the darkest of times, or the hardest of circumstances. But, as the psalmist here reminds us, the greatest benefit of a grateful heart, and therefore the greatest motivation to a thankful spirit, is not the blessing that it brings to us,...but the witness it is to others.

Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.—Psalm 105:1 (KJV)

When we as Christians can be found searching through the wreckage of our shattered dreams, lost loved ones, or debilitating pain, and coming up with yet another reason to praise our God it is an unparalleled proof, of the power of the Lord to transform and to satisfy His people. When we publicly call upon His name,...making His deeds known among the masses,...the gratefulness of God’s children redounds to the glory of His Holy name and grace.

Anyone can be happy and thankful when everything is going well,
...but what a greater testimony it is, when God’s people are rejoicing among the ruins of their temporal pleasures!

Father God, let us shine our light in the darkness of our own heartache and loss,...where it to exalts You and does the most good, because we want to make known Your Goodness, Amen.

"I pray, that your rejoicing be made more abundant in Jesus Christ."
